Parent and Community Involvement

Parent InvolvementAs stakeholders, parents and teachers are partners in the development of our children's education. We encourage and support parent visits to the school, conferences and open communication with teachers. Our weekly newsletter, The Crockett Review, is published Wednesday of each week during the school year. The newsletter informs parents of classroom and school-wide activities. TheParent, Teacher, Student Organization (PTSO) meets monthlyto share ideas. Annual events that provide family involvement include Donuts for Dad, Muffins for Mom, Grandparents Day, Mother/Son-Father/Daughter dance, Rip-the-Runway Fashion Show, Soul Food Taste Fest, Science Night, Literacy Night, Open House and Annual Recognition Ceremony for parent volunteers.
